While some may want to keep this acreage as a single-family homesite, what makes this property intriguing is the inclusion of a Family Density rule, allowing for the potential sub-division of the land into lots with a minimum of 1 acre of developable area each (this parcel is 6.11 acres dry). Anything over four lots requires a platting process. Under this rule, residents have a unique opportunity to create a family lot split on this beautiful piece of land. Stipulations for family lot split include the requirement that the residents must be related , direct ascending and descending and commit to living on the property for at least 5 years. For those interested in exploring the potential of this rule, a concept has been developed showcasing the ability to create 4 lots while adhering to the guidelines. Please verify with Lake County on all of the requirements necessary.
